Cinderella's Castle can not be pulled underground or taken apart in case a hurricane is coming. That is a legend that is untrue. It was built to withstand at least 90 mile per hour winds. The structure is steel covered with fiberglass, and is secured to a concrete foundation. The turrets and towers also have steel framing and were lifted by crane, and bolted permanently to the main structure.

I hope anything in WDW will not close down or lose power.

I hope also the residents in FL will be ok when this is continuing as we speak.

As MouseTyme confirmed, that rumour isn't true, but it would be a little pointless anyway if everything else was a bit messed up (which I doubt will ever happen) because of the hurricane, wouldn't it be weird just having the castle centered in the park with nothing else?!

Watch out around the kingdom though, I might pop up at anytime!
